WWE has officially confirmed the hosts for this year’s Hall of Fame ceremony—and it’s a major change of pace. During the March 31 episode of RAW live from London, the company revealed that Michael Cole and Pat McAfee will take over hosting duties for the 2025 WWE Hall of Fame ceremony in Las Vegas.
Set to go down at the Fontainebleau hotel on Friday, April 18—just hours after SmackDown—the event will serve as a centerpiece for WrestleMania weekend. The lineup? Absolutely stacked.
Headlining this year’s class is none other than Triple H, with Michelle McCool, Lex Luger, and The Natural Disasters (Earthquake and Typhoon) joining him in the prestigious club. But that’s not all. WWE is rolling out a brand-new honor: the first-ever “Immortal Moment” induction—and it’s going to the iconic WrestleMania 13 war between “Stone Cold” Steve Austin and Bret “Hitman” Hart. Both legends will be in the house to accept.
The hosting switch-up is notable: This marks the first time since 2018 that Corey Graves won’t be on the mic. Last year’s ceremony was helmed by Graves and Jackie Redmond, with Graves previously teaming with Kayla Braxton (2023, 2022), Jerry Lawler (2021), and Renee Young (2019). There was no Hall of Fame in 2020 due to the pandemic.
This year, the Cole-McAfee duo—already a fan-favorite team on RAW—will bring their chemistry and energy to a stage filled with nostalgia, emotion, and legacy moments.
